Lipofilling - autologous fat treatment
effective method for skin rejuvenation

As we age, our skin loses tone, volume, and elasticity. These changes are particularly evident on the face in the form of wrinkles, sunken areas, and a tired appearance. As these changes become more pronounced over time, many people desire an effective method of natural rejuvenation but are hesitant about synthetic fillers.

This is precisely where lipofilling comes in. It's an innovative technique that uses the body's own fat to fill lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and visibly revitalize the skin.

Although lipofilling is primarily used as a rejuvenation method, it can also be used to achieve natural changes to the face as desired.

What are the benefits of autologous fat transfer?

Lipofilling offers numerous benefits. This practice offers a combination of naturalness, tolerability, and effectiveness, setting it apart from many other aesthetic procedures for facial wrinkle treatment.

This method is:

natural and sustainable
Lipofilling offers a long-term, natural alternative to traditional fillers, as some of the injected fat cells heal permanently in the tissue, leading to stable and long-lasting results.
gentle and scar-free
Since no large incisions are required, the procedure is particularly gentle. There are no visible scars, and the recovery time is short.
individually customizable
Autologous fat transfer treatment can be precisely tailored to the individual patient's needs, wrinkles, and facial structure. In addition to facial rejuvenation, asymmetrical facial features can also be harmonized.
biocompatible
Since the body's own material is used in autologous fat treatment, complications due to intolerances and negative reactions are very rare.

How does the lipofilling treatment with autologous fat work at DERM ART in Winterthur?

The lipofilling treatment process generally follows the following steps. However, the treatment plan may vary slightly, as safety and the individuality of each patient are paramount.

1. Consulting and analysis

Treatment begins with a detailed consultation. The medical team analyzes facial structure, volume loss, wrinkles, and plastic characteristics of the body region, discussing individual wishes and possible results. Before-and-after photos can also help develop realistic expectations.

2. Fat extraction

The fat cells are removed from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips using gentle liposuction. This is usually done under local anesthesia. The extraction sites are carefully selected to maintain harmonious body proportions. The amount depends on the individual application.

3. Processing

The extracted fat is cleaned and processed into fine droplets by experts. Only the most vital fat cells are used for injection. This step is crucial for a successful treatment.

4. Autologous fat injection

The fat is then injected into predefined facial areas. The fat cells are treated with fine cannulas to avoid damaging the surrounding tissue. The goal is always an even and natural result.

5. Follow-up and evaluation of desired volume and result

Depending on the extent of the treatment, a short recovery period should be planned, as slight swelling or bruising may occur, but these usually disappear quickly. With cooling and appropriate skin care, the healing process is quite rapid, and the patient can soon return to normal activities.

After the plastic surgery, you'll need to rest and avoid exercise for a few days. Cooling your skin can also help reduce swelling. However, hospitalization isn't necessary. You can usually return to your normal routine after a few days.

The final results are visible after approximately three months, once the transplanted fat has stabilized. During this time, some of the injected cells are naturally degraded, but the remainder remains permanent. The individual results of fat injections, both in terms of volume and skin quality, depend on the individual. A healthy lifestyle can also positively influence the longevity.

How does healing proceed after a lipofilling treatment and when are the final results visible?

What is lipofilling?

Lipofilling, also known as autologous fat transfer or fat transplantation, is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure in which fat tissue is removed from the body, processed, and then injected into targeted facial areas. The goal is to smooth facial wrinkles, define contours, and achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Unlike synthetic fillers, the material used comes from the patient's own body. Autologous fat injection offers several advantages, as it reduces the risk of allergic or immunological reactions. Furthermore, in many cases, a significant improvement in skin quality is observed, as the body's own fat contains valuable stem cells that can support regenerative processes in the tissue, similar to stem cell therapy.

What are the risks of lipofilling treatment and how safe is the procedure?

Although lipofilling is considered a safe solution, as with any medical procedure involving general or local anesthesia, certain risks cannot be ruled out. These include:

Infections, bleeding or allergic reactions
Irregularities in the final result
Moderate resorption of the cells, which means that part of the fat is broken down again
In rare cases, over- or under-correction may occur, meaning that the final appearance does not meet expectations.

These are the main risks, but they will be discussed individually and personally with the specialist.

How long do the results last?
Some of the injected fat remains permanently. The results are therefore long-lasting, but can vary depending on lifestyle, age, and skin type.

Are there any visible scars?
No, both the fat extraction and the injection are performed using fine cannulas, therefore usually no visible scars remain.

Is the treatment also suitable for men?
Yes, lipofilling is equally suitable for women and men who desire natural facial rejuvenation.
